recommend clean install and following guide kinda exactly...
(still don't know how somebody can do that but it's possible)

with tortoisegit opening that patch and file --> apply patch. to pulled / downloaded source directory

If someone were to move all of the calculations to the shader, which shouldn't be too difficult, then you could just drop it into your resource folder and have it work without recompiling the game, just like a normal mod.

I don't see a point in merging this to master now. We are unlikely to have another release before the OSG branch gets merged, at which point this work would become obsoleted. As for porting the fog shader to the OSG branch, way too early for that because we don't have any shaders yet.

Done.

Since this version takes no density parameter from the engine you have to manually edit the parameters at the beginning of fog.h to change the density etc.
You also may need to empty your openmw cache directory (~/.cache/openmw on my system) for the changes to take effect.

Also, for people like me that didn't know:
- You need to extract the shaders not to datafiles folder but to resource folder!
- On my Linux PC is correct folder located in /usr/share/games/openmw/resources/materials/ , but it can be at the same place as your openmw executable depending on how you installed openmw.
- You also need to set "distant land = true" and make "viewing distance" bigger in settings.cfg. (I set it to 460000)

This looks amazing, maybe it's time for me to test OpenMW again

This gets my vote to automatic inclusion into default OpenMW...

(even though it is perfectly fine as a drop-in mod as well.)
